Like I said, unless you live it, it is so easy to skip over the "details". Being an NCP paying the guideline amounts, plus "extras" leaves many payors struggling to support themselves, let alone providing a decent home FOR THEIR KIDS too.
We drive almost 400km PER VISIT (there-and-back pick-up, there-and-back drop-off)... averaging $50 in fuel PER VISIT. (That's, on average, $125/month in access fuel costs alone!)

Yet has any judge taken that into account? Nope!

Their answer: "Status Quo" - The only reason it's "status quo" is because the CP did not have a driver's license for the first 3 years of the child's life!
